There are far more than two reasons to call a vet for a horse, but I'll list two of the most common reasons.
1. Signs of colic, this can be life threatening and needs immediate attention and possible surgery.
2. Pulsing wounds, open wounds that have blood pulsing out of them can cause a horse to bleed out and die if not properly cared for and can easily become infected.

A thrush infection would cause the horses hoof to become soft and spongy, if your horse's hoof has a very bad odour, then that is a sign of a thrush infection. Even if it doesn't have a strong odour it could still be a thrush infection, because the smell is just produced by rotting tissue, and dead bacteria. It would be a good idea to take your horse to a veterinarian. The best way to prevent a thrush infection is to clean out your horses hooves regularly! especially if you have your horse shawed!
